    The "Armada of Cyclonus" set was touted as an "online exclusive" by Hasbro, but the only US-based online retailer that ever stocked it was TFSource, who typically obtain their stock through Asian vendors rather than the Hasbro US distribution channels.

    The "Rise of Rodimus Prime" set appears to have been limited to Asian markets and Brazil of all places (not counting for, again, US-based online retailers ordering through Asian vendors).

    The only US-based online retailers that stocked Unicron were BBTS and TFSource, and Hasbro never even added him to their online catalog.

    I was thinking more of the "Transformers Tribute" label, which seems to fill the niche previously occupied by Platinum Edition. Maybe Hasbro just figured a new branding was in order.

    Was this always available on BBTS, or did they just get it now?
